The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Originating in early 19th-century Britain, a partners desk is constructed with pedestals and drawers on both sides to allow two people to work facing each other. Regency examples typically feature classical proportions, fine wood veneers, stringing inlays, and leather writing surfaces.

Craftsmen of the era primarily utilized high-grade flame mahogany or rosewood for the exterior cabinetwork, often accented with boxwood or brass stringing. The top surface typically incorporated a tool-embossed leather insert, accompanied by solid brass handles and locks.

Authentic pieces display period construction techniques, including hand-cut dovetail joints on drawer linings, original brass lever locks, and secondary woods such as oak or pine used for interior drawer construction. Natural wear on the plinth base and hand-carved details also indicate age.

Place the desk floating in the centre of the room to highlight its double-sided architecture. Pair it with a modern minimalist desk chair or a classic leather armchair, balanced by contemporary brass task lighting.

Dust the timber regularly with a soft microfibre cloth and apply a beeswax polish annually to nourish the mahogany. Keep the leather insert clean using a damp cloth and a specialized leather cream, avoiding direct sunlight and radiators to prevent drying or cracking.
